It's time to clear out the FGG warehouse. We need to make room for new books, and Mama Frog says the old stuff must go! We want everyone to promise they will not open these until Christmas (ok, Hanukkah is ok too), and we want to hear who got what in the boxes. You could be the lucky one who nets a Wilderlands Box set or even a Rappan Athuk Reloaded in one of these! Bill has enlisted the aid of Baby Frog, Lil' Frog and Mama Frog to gather up odds and ends from the past 15 years to pack it all up and offer it to you at clearance prices. You see, even 1 book still takes up shelf space in the warehouse, and its time to clear those shelves.

For Black Friday, we are assembling 200 grab bag orders (first come first served). The grab bag orders will consist of 200 boxes of each type--$29.99 (medium priority box) and $99.99 (large priority box). Boxes will contain random items from FGG and Necromancer Games with a retail value of at least 3x the cost. Many items will be out of print, exclusive or even rare. Boxes may contain items including dice, t-shirts, maps, Kickstarter bonus items, miniatures, cards, modules and hardcover and softcover books. You could probably double your money (at least) on Ebay. We just don't have time for that.

All boxes will contain randomly selected material from the past 15 years. That includes the low press run Troll Lord Games and Kenzer-distributed Necromancer Games modules from the early 200o's. A few ultra rare items will be included at random within the boxes. The Frog's will pack and seal all the boxes before they ship and we will not know who gets what box contents. All items are new condition, some may have a bit of shelf wear--as they are up to 15 years old. Ultra rares and unusual items going into these boxes include but are not limited to:

Wilderlands of High Fantasy Box set (shrink) including all 18 maps!
Copy of Rappan Athuk Reloaded (shrink)
2 copies of Crystal Skull (only 500 made, all files lost)
2 copies of City State of the Invincible Overlord (including map)
2 copies of Caverns of Thracia
Tome of Horrors original printing
2 copies of the signed Gencon only release of Slumbering Tsar 1 (only 251 made)
2 copies of Bill's Rappan Athuk notes
2 copies of Nick Logue's Razor Coast notes
A staff copy (10 made) of the Rappan Athuk leather Edition, custom illustrated
Out of print Mythmere Games books (deskbooks, Ice Tower of the Salka original press, etc.)
Level 7B and Call of the Frog God Kickstarter exclusive modules (not for sale normally)
Kickstarter only Orcus and Tsathogga Miniatures by Reaper
Copy of Vault of Larin Karr
4 copies of the Lost City of Barakus, including the fold out map
Copy of Rappan Athuk 3 (original press)
Copy of Tomb of Abysthor (original press)
Note, these items are hard copies only, and no pdfs are provided. All boxes will ship priority mail with overpack boxes inside to ensure safe delivery (hence the extra cost over standard priority rates--we have to pay for those inner boxes, and we cannot have your Crystal Skull arrive damaged!) and will be sent over the next 2-3 weeks. Shipping is extra--Large/$17 US, $48 Canada, $77 international and medium/$12 US, $32 Canada, $48 international. Multiple orders are allowed.


And where will we be ordering these?


Sweet!

Wow! I actually have a copy of Crystal Skull. Had no idea it was that rare!

They will go on sale Friday night at midnight--multiple orders are allowed, I expect they will sell out pretty fast. Some of the stuff in these in just bloody impossible to locate--but it was this or get another storage container and Krista just put her hands on her hips and frowned when I suggested we get a second one. Two buildings and one 40 foot metal container is all I am allowed I guess :)

The problem is even 1 copy of a module takes up a box space on the shelves---so I am clearing out a great many of these. The Kenzer books were either 500 or 1000 total made, and the TLG press books ran in the 500-2000 print range total--10-14 years ago.

This may be the last and only opportunity to get copies of many of the old oop Necromancer titles.

Opened copies of Wilderlands are going for over $300--one or two lucky folks are gonna score.

There also may be a sursprise or two tossed in from my personal collection (I have extras of some VERY rare early 1980's and late 1970's stuff). That's why I want people to post here with what they got. A few folks are gonna win the lottery--the rest will get at least 3x value, and I'll have space to store the next few books we make. Everybody wins.

lol I can definitely picture this.

Bill, there is always the guest house. That would transform into a nice mini-warehouse. :)

I think that I'll have my son-in-law order me one as a Chanukah present. He is Jewish. Oh, did I forget to mention, but Chanukah starts tomorrow (Wednesday 11/27) evening!

Hobbun--the guest house has the leather books in it;lol

Papa--is the H or C considered correct?


I am told that either is ok. I'm Christian, but I know several Rabbi's and they have told me either.

I see them listed on the site and can add to the cart. Are they still going "live" Friday morning 12am or are they live now? I don't want to mess anything up by ordering early.

Publisher, Frog God Games

lol; should go live Friday--test it dav?


I'm highly tempted to buy one of these.... I need a copy of Rappan Athuk for pathfinder. Is there a PFC version in the mix?

Scarab Sages

I can get to the Submit Order part of the checkout, and it brings me to the Paypal login screen. Do you want me to complete it or cancel?


Yeah, it's live - I just placed my order. ;)

Feel free to cancel it if you need to. (But I do want to order it so I'm fine with waiting or buying now. :) )

Scarab Sages

The shipping for the Large didn't have a $17 option - will there be another option or do we just click the biggest one (mine showed as $19.30 I think)?

Publisher, Frog God Games

if its live its live:)

Do not open until the holiday of your choice!

Scarab Sages

ordered!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Fixing the $99 option--its confusing


Let me know if I need to send you more for shipping. I selected priority mail for the $99 one.

Publisher, Frog God Games

Awesome Dave--will do

Publisher, Frog God Games

The reason for the added cost of shipping is I cannot have collectables getting damaged (I can't replace them easily). It would really suck to get a dented copy of Wilderlands in a box, for example.


I think I might have ordered mine with incorrect shipping, Bill. I'm obviously happy to correct it if so. If you want to PM me or I can you with details about my order.


I believe I also picked the incorrect shipping, please let me know and I will correct the error posthaste.

Yes, I did this too. Put an order in but it stopped me when I tried to complete it...

Darn, trying to jump the gun but then aren't I always.

Credit card would not go for some reason...

But when I went Paypal it was done in a second.

Thanks,

Looking forward to seeing what goodies I might get from this find.

Just ordered 2 large grab bags, was hoping to put my kickstarter coupon on the order but then I realized I never got the coupon... Doh!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Yup--Crystal skull is very rare--and unlikely to ever not be. All of the art and map files were lost except for one 10 page section. If/when we redo it as part of the lost lands, its a total redo. No pdf is known to exist.

Publisher, Frog God Games

btw--these things are flying out of here--about 70 total sold so far. I'll have to think of some bonus to toss in if we sell out

I had the same problem and the same resolution. Went through Pay Pal and it was fine.

I was worried that when I saw the messages through the various FGG kickstarters and the email this morning, that since I was having trouble ordering, I wouldn't end up with one.

Now I just have to wait for Christmas to open it. Oh yeah and tell the wife I bought more gaming stuff that I just couldn't live without!

I talked to Bill about an hour ago and he says that these guys are flying off the proverbial shelves!

Don't miss out! :D

Publisher, Frog God Games

Over half gone.

Publisher, Frog God Games

Down to about 40 large boxes and 110 mediums left.


My package came today. That was really fast. It'll have to wait til Xmas though.


Oh boy that means something might be waiting for me when I get home! I checked my order status all weekend but it only every said status "payment received". I had no idea shipping had begun!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Wow what a huge response! The FGG Grab Bags have been available for five days and we've sold hundreds! We fueled up on turkey and gravy, then spent the weekend packing up hundreds of awesome titles and some seriously rare books, but there are still a few left. We have emptied most of the storage boxes we had our sights set on and freed up a lot of space but we'll need more space than that for our upcoming projects.

We are almost sold out! I guess that's pretty cool when you get individual books for about $5-$15 each. Bill also found an extra case of Barakus (so there are 20 in the boxes, not 4) and 3 cases of Mother of All Treasure Tables (so there are 30 of those!).We also found and added 12 additional copies of Caverns of Thracia, so the boxes have even more value than we anticipated. Everything except the final 3 boxes are packed and shipping or ready to ship.

With that in mind, Bill has put this challenge out to all the FGG fans; if we can sell out of ALL of the Large Grab Bags (25 remaining) and another 50 Medium Grab Bags, he will throw ultra rare and collectible items from his personal collection into 3 random grab bags. These are unused items that he has had locked away in his treasure chest for years. Once he remembers how to undo the spell of binding, he will shed a tear and pluck 3 of his favorite items and give them to 3 very lucky gamers. Anyone who has seen his collection will know what gems await them.

Make sure that you select the Medium or Large Flat Rate shipping option during checkout depending on the size of the grab bag you purchase. We had a few folks select the wrong shipping option over the weekend and it delayed shipping for their packages.

This offer expires on Friday the 13th of December, clever huh? ;)

Publisher, Frog God Games

Also--two final notes--1) no peeking, 2) please post here if you got anything extra spiffy. All 4 baby frogs (Lil' Frog, Baby Frog, Tweener Frog and Swimmy Frog, as well as Mama and me signed the interior package containing the Wilderlands Shrink box. We want to know who got it!


My package came today.

Can't wait!!


For the purposes of opening, I'll be celebrating Hanukkah, which happened at sundown here. :)

My package contained something I did not know existed - 2 decks of Swords & Wizardry cards - Level 2 encounters and the Treasure deck. Love the treasure deck idea.

The rest of my package contained stuff I already had - nothing ultra rare (so more hope for the rest of you!), but some items I may re-gift, such as the Mother of All Encounter Tables. Other hardback items were Trouble at Durbenford and the Tome of Horrors 2.

No JG items, unfortunately.

Checking e-bay, noble knight and others, the total value of the order is around $250. Not bad.


I got my grab bag today. I've not opened it yet. Is it ok to post the contents when I do, or would you prefer us to wait until theyare all sent out?

Just got my 2 large boxes in. I am almost tempted to buy more...

Edit: Oops I peeked.... Wow second box is nice 3 ultra rare items though I already own 2 of them, and multiple copies of those 2...

Publisher, Frog God Games

Tome 2 is pretty uncommon. We way undrprinted it. $250 makes sense. I put a lot of stuff in those boxes.

Publisher, Frog God Games

Dragon. Email what you got!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Ps. I added many extra rares as noted above. Plenty still to be found. I had extras of everything but reloaded and wilderlands.


Have nearly none of Necromancer Games/FFG earlier output, so the grab bag is a good way for me to acquire copies of OOP stuff.

I looked in my large bag. Nothing rare in it, but there were a ton of early D20 modules for 3.0/3.5 in there. Probably 10-12 of those alone, which was neat.

Publisher, Frog God Games

I tried to ensure everyone gets far more than value on these.

Publisher, Frog God Games

Well, Dragon hit one of the jackpot boxes.

Sovereign Court

so in the outer boxes, I got several Rappan Athuk KS buttons and stickers, a bunch of dice (and you can't have too many dice), a S&W Monster Deck.

Couldn't resist and from the inner boxes: modules (F1, G2, H1(x3), K1, K2, K5(x2), K6(x2), L2), Rappan Athuk Player's Guide, Rappan Athuk Level 7B and ToH III(x2) ... looking up on ebay ... potentially ~$315. The modules should make for some good filler on the homebrew. ;)

Thanks Frogs!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Weird on that. I tried hard to avoid duplicates in each box.
